Starr Oddi Data Storage Tag

Since 1993, the DST tags have been used in oceans and waters around the world. The newest addition to the DST family is the centi. The DSTcenti is smaller, has more user customability and is more economical (see specification ).

Actual Size

The DSTcenti was originally designed to be used as a depth and temperature logger for tagging various fish species both internally and on the exterior. The DST has given scientists valuable data for their researches, e.g. information about the behaviour of fish migration and distribution in the oceans. However, their compact nature and corrosive resistance shell they fit in many different applications (fuel tanks,Temp. profiling, animals etc).

APPLICATION OBJECTIVES:

Excellent tool for monitoring behavior of marine animals.
Comparison of growth between fish from same and different environments.
Tracking the trail of the fish by comparing a series of point measurements of environmental factors with available data for the ocean.
Register long term environmental changes in the surroundings and their relation to the behaviour of the fish. For short-term studies, e.g. diurnal rhythm in relation to vertical swimming pattern.
Obtaining optimum environmental data for application in aquaculture.
